    damn it scares ME too, and im used to working at heights - i always say its not the height of the roof that scares me (nor necessarily the pitch) but i HATE ladders - thats always where i feel worst, climbing up and down

    i did a hedge a couple months back from an 8 foot step ladder, and the wind blew the hedge around, causing me to lose my point of reference, i thought i was swaying, and had to grab the ladder, shaking the whole lot around.

    scared the crab out of me
    Hi Hap, thats a 5m step.
    The gorilla I refer to is a 19 & that refers to its state as an extension ladder.
    I rarely use the gorilla as an extension, normally only a step.
    Scariest part about ladders is gettin back on an extension.
    Cheers Fred.
